Anyone have any good fusion recipes that use Korean ingredients? I'm most interested in pasta recipes, (my favorite kind of food to make) but I'd love to hear any good combinations of western food and Korean ingredients that anyone has come across!

One that I've found it a cream sauce pasta with gochu-jang. When I do it I go pretty light on the gochu-jang, since I don't like my food too spicy, but it makes for an interesting rosa sauce. (though it doesn't get very red if you just add a little like I do) I also usually add a bit of red wine, and a small amount of brown sugar. (I copied the idea from a meal my girlfriend made for me. It was essentially dok galbi, but with straight gochu-jang, red wine, and brown sugar for the sauce)

So yeah, anyone have any interesting western recipes, with a Korean twist?

Here are the fusion foods I make:

1. boil chicken and then stirfry it for a short time with jeopjae and that szechuan pepper (labelled "Chinese spice" in Korean stores) for a low effort midweek meal.

2. boil pasta, strain it then mix with a can of spicy tuna for a real quick casserole.

3. use Korean red pepper paste in many stews.

4. fry samgyupsal with eggs for breakfast. The pork meat tastes just like bacon to me.

5. soak steak in bokbunjajoo before or during frying for a lovely tender taste to the meat.

Everything else is home cooking, mostly family recipes. If I want to eat Korean I just go out to a restaurant because it's so cheap to eat out if you want local cuisine.
